Background

The Kenmore 596.7658* is a refrigerator model manufactured by the Whirlpool Corporation under the Kenmore brand. This model is a bottom freezer style, meaning the freezer compartment is located below the fresh food compartment. It is characterized by a combination of drawer and door access to its compartments. It features an automatic defrost system, which means it can self-regulate the build-up of frost in the freezer.

It has a total volume of 24.8 cu ft, with 17.5 cu ft allocated to fresh food and 7.3 cu ft for the freezer. The refrigerator stands 70 inches tall, 36 inches wide, and 32 inches deep.
